The Haus des Papiers is a joint project of the partners Hahnemühle, d’mage, Canon and paper positions in Berlin and shows paper art in all its creative diversity. The museum is to become part of a large network and the European center for paper expertise, paper art and printing technologies. It is, however, already an inspiring place of unique art, with works by Rosemarie Trockel, Goekhan Erdogan, Monica Bonvicini and Leiko Ikemura.

As the museum's website states: “Ever since paper has existed, people have been fascinated and touched by this material. Tenderness and strength at the same time. As a basis for a stroke or as a material out of itself. From the process of creation, through artistic design, to the brutal transformation into another aggregate state: the possibilities are endless. No other material in art is as sensual, present, and changeable as paper. Let’s build it a house.”

Some of the works on display have won the Paper Art Award and have been purchased by the museum’s collection. Another part are loans from artist friends and galleries.

The Haus des Papiers is located in the Coca-Cola-Haus at Seydelstraße 30 / corner Elisabeth-Mara-Straße, 10117 Berlin-Mitte. It is open from Friday to Saturday 10:00 to 17:00, and on the last Wednesday and Thursday of every month from 13:00 to 20:00.
